In High Sacristan, the last city on Earth, a powerful artifact known as the Canticle Engine preserves the remnants of humanity from the ravaged outside world. Thousands of years ago Man's civilization came to a sudden, bitter end and now legions of the restless dead roam endless, lifeless deserts in search of prey. The dead, and their enigmatic High Dead masters, are opposed only by a resurgent church that rules High Sacristan with an iron fist. The city's underbelly crawls with unspeakable monstrosities, and with humanity fast fading every life must be safeguarded. Enter the Inquisition, agents of the [[Church Militant]] tasked with cleansing the filth from Sacristan at any cost. |
